11 years ago, 21 Egyptian Copt Christians were beheaded by ISIS in Libya for refusing to convert to Islam.

Their last words were: “Jesus, I love you.”

Remember, no one marched for them.
No one protested for them!

Professional racing driver Ollie Millroy thanks competitor Loek Hartog for saving his life after getting into a fiery crash over the weekend in China.

Millroy says he'd be dead if Hartog hadn't jumped out of his car to pull him out of his burning car.

"I am still alive tonight, entirely thanks to one man. Loek Hartog stopped instantly with no flag marshalls or fire crews in sight, and risked his own life to get me out of the car."

"I don’t remember anything between 30 seconds before the crash and 1 hour after it, but I will remember his incredible act of bravery for the rest of my life..."

"I’m laying here tonight with 5 broken ribs, broken collar bone, broken hand and finger and a bruised lung, but it could have been much worse."

"Thank you Loek. I owe you my life for your selfless act today."

@triffic_stuff_ I'm counting 12 (17% of the audience). 7/8 more (who may have kept private) would make 28%.

Could plants one day light our cities? 💡
A Japanese startup, LEP, created glowing trees, even exhibiting a glowing bonsai at Expo 2025 Osaka. This sustainable lighting innovation could reduce CO2 and energy use, offering a natural solution to global warming. 🌱✨

Think our formation in the first half wasn't attacking enough. Should have 2 up front to cause more problems. We didn't need two Def Mids with Ayew up front #ENGGHA

HEARTBREAKING: Her 10-month-old baby was cut in half with a knife in front of her, her husband shot dead, and she watched them split her second child's skull with a machete. They also cut off one of her hands.

This is life for Christians in Nigeria. The media remains silent.

Justification gets you out of Egypt, but sanctification gets Egypt out of you.

In 458 BC, Rome was on the brink of collapse.

An invading army had trapped the Roman consul and his legion in a mountain pass. Panic spread through the city. The Senate did the only thing they could think of:

They sent messengers to find a 60-year-old farmer plowing his field.

His name was Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. He had once been a senator, then lost his fortune paying his son's bail. Now he worked his own four-acre plot just to feed his family.

When the Senate's envoys arrived, they found him sweating behind a plow. They asked him to put on his toga so they could deliver an official message.

The message: Rome was making him dictator. Absolute power. Total command of the army. No checks. No oversight. No term limit.

He accepted.

Within 16 days, Cincinnatus had raised an army, marched out, surrounded the enemy, and forced their surrender. The republic was saved.

He had legal authority to rule for six months. He could have stayed. He could have expanded his power. He could have done what every other ruler in human history did when handed unlimited control.

Instead, he resigned on day 16.

He took off the toga, walked back to his farm, and finished plowing the field he'd left half-done.

Twenty years later, when Rome faced another crisis, they called him back. He was 80 years old. He took command, crushed the conspiracy, and resigned again, this time after just 21 days.

He died poor. On his farm.

2,200 years later, when George Washington was offered a kingship after winning the American Revolution, he refused and went home to Mount Vernon. The reason he was hailed as "the American Cincinnatus" is because Europeans literally could not believe a man who had won would willingly give up power.

King George III, on hearing Washington would resign rather than rule, said: "If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world."

The lesson isn't that Cincinnatus was humble.

The lesson is that for most of human history, the people most qualified to lead were the ones who didn't want to. And the moment a society starts rewarding those who chase power instead of those who flee from it is the moment the republic begins to die.

Cincinnati, Ohio is named after him.

Most people who live there have no idea why.

@cleanupbritain I'd imagine the general public thinks the council does it, or they will get sued if they do anything about it or simply aren't interested, or don't care.

As a result of the war with Iran, agricultural inflation is skyrocketing, the price of red diesel is soaring, and fertiliser supply is under serious threat.

As a result, food prices will rise further.

It's time the Government took food security seriously and backed our farmers.
